Seems to be lot worse when there are graphics in left margin which cause

in regards to the modem driver is that 8.30(agere right.)is
not tested by microsoft for use in the windows xp machine
and you may experience problems (or not) . 8.28 is the
latest certified driver for your modem. but 8.30 does seem
to resolve an issue with an abnormal reading of upload
speed. try your speed test at dslreports.com/tools and
go to speed test. and check your actual line speed. also
56k.com has lots of info about modems and over ride codes
for diss-connects over line noise.

Dave is familiar with your modem and has already steered you towards
the right resources. For the printing - if your printer supports
"landscape" mode, try that to avoid the cut off text. If no luck,
copy/paste to a word processor. Save and then print. After printing,
you can delete the saved file if you no longer want it.
